Egypt Context

Egyptian driving licences are issued by the Traffic Department (Idarat Al-Murur) under the Ministry of Interior. The licence format has been modernised in recent years, with newer cards featuring bilingual Arabic-English text, though older licences may be Arabic-only.

Document Format

Egyptian driving licences include the holder's photo, name in Arabic (and English on newer cards), date of birth, licence number, vehicle categories, and expiry date. The licence is a credit-card-sized plastic card with security features.

What You'll Need

  • Clear scan or photograph of both sides of the Egyptian driving licence
  • Details of the intended use (e.g. insurance, car hire, identity verification)
  • Your UK address for hard copy delivery if required
  • Confirmation of which vehicle categories you hold

Common Uses

  • UK car insurance applications
  • Car hire and rental in the UK
  • Proof of identity for official purposes
  • Employment verification requiring driving qualifications
  • Applying for a UK provisional licence as a starting point

Driving licence translations for UK use do not typically require legalisation. A certified translation is sufficient for insurance, car hire, and most official purposes.
